Time and time again people only think about the damage and not the effects.

Or the fact alchemy can increase destruction damage a ton...

Or the fact that flame tempest (110 damage) + a group of enemies = more damage output then any melee or archer attack.

Or the fact that dragon shouts are considered magic...Seeing as I can absorb shouts.

Of course I'm not past level 30 yet, but I feel it will be fine, just misunderstood.

Edit: Also I play on Master.

I believe the major concern is the damage doesnt hold up past level 45-50 or so. Come back when you reach that level.

I heard it was just after level 30.

Either way, beats being a warrior anyday.
